Punk, parenthood, and Patti Smith.

About

With great sadness, Griffin Theatre Company has announced an extension to the temporary closure of the SBW Stables Theatre, which means that we are unable to present our season of Phil Spencer’s No Standing. No Dancing. this year.


The latest show from award-winning writer Phil Spencer is a notebook’s worth of stories about the gentle art of cowardice, tiny acts of fuck-you-mate, and why Patti Smith is the absolute boss of it all.

Penned over the best part of a decade, No Standing. No Dancing. looks back over Phil’s life with reckless abandon: from the 17-year-old ratbag he once was to the emotional and neurotic 34-year-old father of two he’s proud to be today.

It’s an autobiography-meets-love-letter to indie music, an examination of parenthood (and public pool hygiene) and a primal scream to reawaken the punk inside us all.

“Spencer’s charm and winning on-stage charisma is simply delightful.”
